Electronic Book for Students with Visual Impairments Reaches for the Stars

January 9, 2014: This huge Hubble Space Telescope mosaic, spanning a width of 600
light-years, shows a star factory of more the 800,000 stars being born.
The stars are embedded inside the Tarantula Nebula, a vibrant region of
star birth that resides 170,000 light-years away in the Large Magellanic
Cloud, a small, satellite galaxy of our Milky Way. Hubble's near-infrared
sensitivity allows astronomers to see behind clouds of dust in the nebula
to unveil where the newborn stars are clustered.
